🌸 NAME 🌸

al_set_render_state — the Allegro 5 API function that sets a render state, no cap 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_set_render_state(ALLEGRO_RENDER_STATE state, int value)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea: this function sets one of several render attributes. You hand it a state, you hand it a value, and boom — attribute set. Which attributes, you ask? Go peek at ALLEGRO_RENDER_STATE(3alleg5), that's where the whole menu lives, iykyk 👑

⚠️ important vibe check: this function does nothing if the target bitmap is a memory bitmap. like, literally nothing. it just sits there. so don't come crying to me when your memory-bitmap render state is a no-op, because that's just how it is fr fr 😭
